My Take
Robbie Dupree is one of those voices I associate with late-summer evenings. Steal Away and Hot Rod Hearts defined that soft, breezy yacht-rock feel, yet what intrigues me is that he is a Brooklyn kid, an East Coast man making quintessentially West Coast-sounding records. Born in 1946 and working under a chosen name rather than his given Dupuis, he carries a certain quiet craftsmanship. People file him under one-hit-wonder territory, but that warm voice and his songwriting have aged remarkably well. I have a real soft spot for unhurried, journeyman singers like him.
